Grandma touched Teacher Ding's face seriously, and said, "You are not Xiaobao, you are Hongmei!" How could a mother fail to recognize her own child? Although the old lady was in a trance, she was still awake occasionally.
Teacher Ding was silent, "Mom, when did you recognize it?"
"I don't know!" The old lady was a little dazed and murmured, "Where is Xiaobao?"
Teacher Ding's eyes were red instantly, "Xiaobao was left down there!" Teacher Ding was not a man, but a woman. Grandma's son was called Ding Houshan. In order to cover up the death of the real Ding Houshan, she was afraid that the old lady could not bear the blow, and she was also afraid that someone above would investigate. That's why she has been dressed as a man for so many years and has been accompanying the old lady for so many years.
Teacher Ding's real name was Sun Hongmei, the wife of Ding Houshan. However, her family was a big landlord due to their bad class background. She fled to the surrounding villages and later married Ding Houshan. A few years after Xiaoxiao was born, she was found by her family and told that her father was no longer in the family. She was called back home. Unexpectedly, she was detained and guarded by the Red Guards at that time because of her class background.
Later, Ding Houshan was also exiled to the same village as Sun Hongmei, but he was beaten up on the way. Ding Houshan was originally a scholar, so he could not stand such a torment. In addition, the exile environment was harsh, and it didn't take long for Ding Houshan to survive.
At that time, Sun Hongmei unexpectedly met Ding Houshan. She was extremely happy. She was worried that she could not go back and contact her husband and children at home. She did not expect that her husband was exiled to the same village as her.
In addition to her joy, she was more worried. Both of them were taken away. What would happen to the children and the elderly at home?
She did not worry for long. A bigger difficulty was in front of her. That was Ding Houshan's health was getting worse and worse. The medical conditions in the village were not good. In addition, both of them had bad backgrounds. Ding Houshan was classified as the stinking ninth, and Sun Hongmei was a big landlord. They were
all targets of criticism!
Fortunately, Sun Hongmei was in good health. After finishing her work during the day, she would pretend to be Ding Houshan at night. They looked like a couple, and later, Sun Hongmei became very good at pretending to be Ding Houshan.
Later, news came from the city that Grandma was critically ill. At this time, Ding Houshan was also hanging on for life. Finally, Ding Houshan thought of a way to replace the prince with a cat. He would not live long anyway.
So he gave this opportunity to Sun Hongmei, allowing her to return to the city to take up the job quota and help take care of her elderly mother and children.
However, the place where they were sent down was burned by a fire, and Ding Houshan was left there with his body. Sun Hongmei had no choice but to abandon her relatives in the village and return to Taisong County.
When she returned, people in Taisong County who knew Ding Houshan were either dead or scattered, and her Xiaoxiao had grown up.
After Sun Hongmei returned to Taisong County, she used Ding Houshan's identity, and the Sun Hongmei who was sent to the village had died.
She could only pretend to be Ding Houshan. Sun Hongmei lived with Ding Houshan for so many years and learned all of Ding Houshan's habits. When she pretended to be Ding Houshan, no one could recognize her except the closest people.
But unexpectedly, the old lady recognized her after so many years. Maybe the old lady recognized her earlier, but she didn't want to wake up. Grandma's eyes were filled with tears. She touched Teacher Ding's face, "Hongmei! You have suffered so much!" For so many years, she has been running a family alone, and taking care of this sick old lady.
Teacher Ding smiled and helped Grandma sit on the bed, with an indescribable relief on her face, "It's not hard." This is the truth. Houshan exchanged himself back with his life, and it is her duty to fulfill her filial piety to the old lady.
As for Xiaoxiao, it is the greatest luck to find her in this life. If she can't find her, she will live with the old lady.
Speaking of which, Xiaoxiao's running away from home was also related to Teacher Ding. When she came back, her grandmother recognized Teacher Ding at a glance and said that he was not her little baby. When the two were talking, Xiaoxiao, who had just come back from school, heard them. For the fifteen-year-old Xiaoxiao, it was like a bolt from the blue.
The father who loved her the most in her eyes was gone, and the father she had called for several days was actually the mother who abandoned her.
Yes! In Xiaoxiao's eyes, Sun Hongmei was the bad mother who wanted to climb up the social ladder and didn't want her.
The father who loved her was gone, and the mother who abandoned her was back.
No matter how Sun Hongmei explained, Xiaoxiao would not listen.
In the end, grandma had to hold on and explain. Little did she know that Xiaoxiao was in her rebellious teenage years. The more the elders talked, the less she listened. In the end, grandma was really angry. She said something in a huff, "Your father has passed away. Are you going to the village to find him?" When she said this, grandma was crying in her heart! Xiaoxiao had lost her father, so how could she send her son off? Perhaps this sentence
was intimidating. Xiaoxiao was very quiet for a few days, but secretly submitted an application to the trade union to be an educated youth in the countryside without telling her family.
When Teacher Ding and grandma knew about it, Xiaoxiao had already set foot on the road to the countryside.
When grandma heard the news, she fell ill and could not get up. Teacher Ding was exhausted during that period. Not only did she have to worry about Xiaoxiao who was far away in the countryside, but the old lady at home had to take medicine all the time, and the house was soon completely spent.
Not only that, grandma was in a trance after waking up from the coma, and she had completely forgotten about the discovery that Sun Hongmei had replaced Teacher Ding.
There was only one thought in her mind, and that was Xiaoxiao who had left home.
Teacher Ding waited until grandma got better and entrusted her to her husband Ding Houshan's eldest brother. However, Ding Houshan's eldest brother was not grandma's son, but Ding Houshan's father's first wife. His name was Ding Zhongshan. He was just an ordinary clerk in the Taisong County government. After entrusting grandma to the eldest brother Ding Zhongshan, of course Sun Hongmei did not hide her identity from Ding Zhongshan. She asked someone to issue a certificate for visiting relatives and went to the countryside.
But Sun Hongmei went a step late. When she arrived, she found that Xiaoxiao, who was originally on the list, was not in the assigned village.
Sun Hongmei's heart was like a thousand ants gnawing at her. She blamed herself for being so careless and letting her grandmother discover her identity. When the two were talking, Xiaoxiao overheard them.
Since that year, Sun Hongmei has been looking for Teacher Ding in every village she went to the countryside, but she has found nothing after searching many villages.
So many years have passed.
Once full of hope, it turned into disappointment in the end.
Sun Hongmei had no choice but to completely play the role of Teacher Ding in order not to be exposed. Since the incident with Xiaoxiao, Sun Hongmei has been extra careful.
Later, they moved to the faculty and staff compound, so that none of the colleagues at the school and the neighbors living nearby discovered that Teacher Ding was actually a woman dressed as a man.
After Teacher Ding coaxed Grandma to sleep, she sat down next to the mirror and slowly wiped the things off her face. Although her method was not makeup, it was more sophisticated than modern makeup techniques. At least An An had been in contact with Teacher Ding for so long, and she never thought that Teacher Ding was actually a female compatriot.
Teacher Ding looked at herself in the glass mirror. If the old lady hadn't mentioned it today, she would have taken off the mask. She didn't know how many years it had been since she had seen her own face.
Because she hadn't seen the light for many years, after taking off the mask, Teacher Ding's whole face was abnormally pale.
Teacher Ding was a beauty when she was young. After years of aging, there are fine lines around her eyes. However, because she has not been in the spotlight for many years and teaching is a relatively easy job, Teacher Ding has not aged too much.
If An An were here, she would definitely praise her for her good maintenance skills! Compared with her peers, she is younger than those who go to beauty salons nowadays!
An An had no idea that such a big thing happened in Teacher Ding's family after she left.
What is she doing now? ?
Of course she is counting money in the supermarket! A household with a ten thousand yuan in the seventies was quite valuable, not to mention that An An still has thirty thousand!
She took the trouble to unwrap the money and counted it one by one. Later, she simply went to sleep with a pile of money in her arms. It was a good feeling to have food in her hands and not be anxious.
When she went to class the next day, An An was full of energy, and her little face was flushed. She smiled all the way, which made Xu Chengcheng anxious. She didn't understand why this girl was so happy!
Xu Chengcheng's eyes shone on An An like searchlights, curiously, "Hey! Are you thinking about love?" Otherwise, why would you smile so shamelessly.
It was also because they were familiar with each other that they started joking.
An An was not annoyed. She stretched out her index finger and shook it, "The Buddha said, it cannot be said, it cannot be said." She dared not tell the source of the money, not even to her most trusted old father, let alone mention it outside.
Xu Chengcheng snorted, a little unhappy.
An An quickly changed the subject, "I'm going to send something to Banxia after school tonight. Do you want to go?" The things An An mentioned were of course not sent by express delivery. There was no express delivery in those days!
But people are smart! There is a bus from Taisong County to Gujia Village. They can go directly to the station and give the things they want to send to the driver who goes to Taisong County. They can pay three cents for the fare. When the bus passes by Gujia Village, it will stop once, and Gu Huazi or Banxia can go to the bus to pick up the things.
This is because the review materials are urgent and can't be delayed, so An An wanted to send it out early! That's why she thought of this method.
When she heard that she was going to send something to Banxia, Xu Chengcheng raised her heroic eyebrows and hugged An An's shoulders, "You are so nice to call me." She touched her schoolbag, which was filled with a lot of food!
They were all prepared by her mother, who was worried that she would be hungry in school. Don't underestimate Xu Chengcheng's appetite, it's as big as that of boys of the same age, and she gets dizzy from hunger.
Several times before, An An fed this guy sugar to prevent him from fainting.
In An An's eyes, Xu Chengcheng had typical hypoglycemia, but there was no popular science about this in those days. However, the doctor was not bad and could find out the cause. Li Jingying could just prepare food for Xu Chengcheng from time to time.
Li Jingying was a stranger to Xu Weibing and Xu Chengcheng. She poured all her love on Xu Chengcheng.
When Xu Chengcheng went out in the morning, Li Jingying fried a lot of fragrant lotus root cakes and filled an enamel pot. Not only that, she also put some peach cakes, an orange and an apple in Xu Chengcheng's schoolbag. As
far as An An was concerned, there were only a few people in Taisong County who could afford to eat fruits during this period, and Xu Chengcheng happened to be one of them.
Seeing Xu Chengcheng stealing everything at once, An An hurriedly stopped him, "Keep some for yourself, or I won't help you if you faint!"
Xu Chengcheng laughed and said firmly, "I know you have candy in your pocket!" This is why she was so bold to pack all the food for Banxia, because she knew that when she was about to faint, An An would definitely feed her candy, and it was super sweet milk candy. It
tasted better than all the milk candies in their house, but she couldn't find out where An An bought it? ? Where did
An An buy it? Of course she bought it in the supermarket!
This really couldn't be found out.
Seeing Xu Chengcheng's sincerity, she didn't shirk responsibility. It was true that the candy she had was enough to take care of Xu Chengcheng for a lifetime, right! To put it bluntly, Xu Chengcheng's illness is hypoglycemia. As long as she is by Xu Chengcheng's side, she will not faint.
The two packed their schoolbags. There were quite a few things in them. An An found a Hero brand fountain pen from the stationery shelf in her supermarket. Once when An An and Ban Xia went to the supply and marketing cooperative together, they saw the fountain pen sold in the glass cabinet. It was very expensive, costing more than ten yuan!
Although An An had money, she knew that if she bought it in front of Ban Xia, Ban Xia would definitely not want it, because this fountain pen was too expensive.
And she didn't plan to buy a fountain pen of this era. In fact, she had one before, which was brought back to her by Gu Weiqiang when he went away. That fountain pen was really a little ancestor! It is very difficult to use. If it falls to the ground, the front nib will crack and it will often leak. Often, your hands will become pitch black after writing. If you don't pay attention, the clothes will be stained with it.
She really can't praise the pens of this era. The quality of the pen she took out from the supermarket is top-notch, which can save a lot of trouble.
When An An took out the pen, Xu Chengcheng's eyes lit up. Although she didn't like to study, she had to admit that An An's pen was really very impressive. She deliberately said, "When I turn over a new leaf and am willing to study hard, I will also have one." In fact, with the degree of pampering of Xu Chengcheng's mother, there is no shortage of pens. There is a row of pens at home! It's a pity that she doesn't like to study, so she just left it there to collect dust.
An An nodded with a smile, and packed up all the things that Xu Chengcheng handed over. The two were about to leave the classroom, but Hu Xiaohua caught up with them. She was small to begin with, and her face was a little red. She handed the things in her hand to An An, and said nervously, "Can you help me take this to Banxia?" This was her own review notes, although she didn't know if Banxia would need it, and compared to An An and the others, her gift was shabby.
An An was surprised. She really didn't expect Hu Xiaohua to send her something. After all, they didn't usually interact with each other.
Seeing An An in a daze, Hu Xiaohua felt a little embarrassed. She rubbed her hands nervously and wanted to retract her review notes. Her third sister Hu Xiaohua said, "Please mind your own business! I don't appreciate it."
An An glanced at Hu Xiaoshu calmly, and then she slapped him in the face with her actions, "Thank you! Banxia will definitely like your gift." After that, she took the review notes from Hu Xiaohua's hand, but what she didn't say was that her schoolbag already had review materials prepared by teachers of various subjects.
No matter what, this was Hu Xiaohua's intention.
Seeing An An took the things, Hu Xiaohua grinned happily, "Thank you..." After all, she was not good at speaking, and other words could not come out of her heart.
An An didn't take it seriously and invited, "Why don't you go to the station with us to mail something?"
Hu Xiaohua's eyes lit up and she stuttered, "I...can I?"
An An and Xu Chengcheng looked at each other and nodded. Xu Chengcheng, who always had a sharp tongue, snorted, "Why don't you keep up!" But in fact, she was happy for Hu Xiaohua. This girl was finally not afraid and took the first step on her own.
Hu Xiaohua held the things in one hand and trotted behind An An and the others.
Hu Xiaoshu was left stamping his feet, "You didn't even know you were sold."
Although Hu Xiaohua was dull and couldn't speak, she knew what was going on in her heart. She knew that the only girls in the class who would not bully her were the two girls in front of her.
The three of them left the school together. An An also took Dong Dong to the street, intending to take Dong Dong to the station.
The school was still a distance away from the station, and the things were a bit heavy. An An felt a little tired after carrying them for a while, but fortunately Xu Chengcheng was very strong, and without saying a word, he hung the things on his shoulders with one hand and laughed, "An An, there is always one thing you can't do!" That is physical work. For the first time, Xu Chengcheng felt proud. It seems that eating a lot and being strong is not a bad thing.
The four of them went to the station in a mighty manner, found a car to go back to Gujia Village, and after giving instructions to the driver three times and memorizing the license plate number of the car, they left the station and went to a small store to call the supply and marketing cooperative in Gujia Village. The first time, it was the salesperson at the supply and marketing cooperative who answered the phone and said that it was for Gu Huazi.
The salesperson hung up the phone and said, "Call back in ten minutes." It would take about ten minutes to go from the supply and marketing cooperative to Gu Huazi's home.
An An was not in a hurry and stayed by the phone. After a while, the phone rang again, "An An! What do you want to talk to me about?" Gu Huazi's strong voice came from the other end of the phone.
As soon as An An heard Uncle Huazi's loud voice, she knew that Banxia should be fine. She smiled, "Uncle Huazi, is Banxia next to you?"
Uncle Huazi tilted his head to glance at Banxia. Banxia originally didn't want to come out, but was called out by Gu Huazi's force. He said, "Girl, An An is looking for you!"
Banxia probed, "An An?"
An An, "Banxia, my teachers and classmates and I miss you!"
Banxia was silent, "I miss you too!" She found that she always avoided things when she encountered them. It was the last time and it was the same this time.
"Teacher, Chengcheng, Hu Xiaohua, I have prepared something for you. The car will arrive at the village entrance later. Remember to pick it up."
As soon as An An finished speaking, Xu Chengcheng happily took the phone, "Banxia! Come back soon! I like the soft cushions of flesh." Yes, together with Banxia, Xu Chengcheng loves to knead Banxia's fat flesh.
Banxia's eyes were a little red, but she didn't know what to say.
Xu Chengcheng didn't take it seriously and handed the phone to Hu Xiaohua. Hu Xiaohua took the phone in panic and stammered for a long time, "Gu Banxia! Come back!"
Dongdong also joined in the fun, "Sister Banxia, come to my house, the braised pork rice my sister makes is delicious."
Even through the microphone, Banxia could hear the enthusiasm of her friends on the other side of the phone. Her eyes were red, "I will go back when I lose weight." After returning from school this time, Banxia went completely crazy. She only lived on drinking water and eating cabbage every day. As for the meat and eggs she used to eat, she gave them all up.
Seeing his daughter crying over a phone call, Gu Huazi was so anxious that he asked, "What happened?"
Banxia cried and laughed, "An'an sent me some things! They were prepared by teachers and classmates. They said the car coming to Gujia Village later would bring them."
Gu Huazi was silent for a moment and laughed, "My girlfriend is so popular with women!" Is this the point we should pay attention to? The point is that Banxia was very moved. Banxia
was so praised by her father that she didn't feel sad anymore. She ran to the entrance of the village. Seeing that the car didn't come, she didn't waste time and ran back and forth again and again.
Gu Huazi was no longer surprised. In the past, his daughter also said that she wanted to lose weight, but because Banxia had a physique that would gain weight even if she drank water, she was so frustrated that she put it on hold for the time being.
Unexpectedly, this time when she came back from the county high school, his daughter had completely changed.
As an old father, Gu Huazi felt distressed and relieved. In short, he had a complicated mindset.
When they got the package, Banxia carefully opened the package. When she saw the things inside, she said firmly, "Dad, I will go back to school after I lose weight." She couldn't let down An'an, the teacher and her classmates.
Gu Huazi's old face was full of relief, "Okay! My daughter is the best after all."
And where would An'an and the others be?
The old father was not at home, so she and Dongdong were having fun, especially with Xu Chengcheng, the foodie, leading them. Although Xu Chengcheng had only been in Taisong County for a short time, she had tried all the delicious food in the streets and alleys!
Xu Chengcheng knew it better than An An and Hu Xiaohua, the two locals. Xu Chengcheng took them to a time-honored wonton shop. There were seven or eight tables outside the palm-sized shop, and they were all full of people.
It was obvious that Xu Chengcheng was already familiar with the boss. She took out two 200-liang grain coupons from her pocket and put them on the table along with a piece of money, saying, "Boss, give us four bowls of wontons." This was really generous. A bowl of wonton these days cost fifty cents, because it came with soup and not just dry. Basically fifty cents plus one or two liang of grain coupons was enough. Xu Chengcheng directly paid for An An and her brother and one for Hu Xiaohua.
An An looked at Xu Chengcheng, the heroic woman, and her mouth twitched. She was being kept by a rich woman. She smiled and said, "I know there is a Hu La Tang restaurant near where we live. I'll take you there to try it next time." She did not return the money to Xu Chengcheng because she knew that Xu Chengcheng would be unhappy if she gave her the money. This is how people interact with each other. If you calculate too much, it will lose its meaning. Only
such a give-and-take relationship can last long.
Xu Chengcheng's heroic eyebrows twitched, "Then I have to give it a try."
Dong Dong was surprised, "Sister Chengcheng, your eyebrows look like insects!"
Xu Chengcheng's face turned black with anger. This kid was so boring. How could she describe a beautiful girl's eyebrows as being like a bug? She was proud, "You don't know this! I learned to draw my eyebrows myself with a pencil." The eyebrow pencil was of course brought back from Shanghai by her fashionable uncle.
An An covered her mouth and laughed secretly. Aren't Chengcheng's eyebrows like two caterpillars?
Her eyebrows were originally heroic, and she had never thought about trimming them before drawing them. They were already two thick eyebrows, and with the addition of black, they were really thicker than they could be.
When Xu Chengcheng heard An An laughing, she went up to him and felt itchy, "Don't laugh at me, the first time is unfamiliar, the second time is familiar! It will be better next time."
Hu Xiaohua looked at An An and Xu Chengcheng quarreling with a hint of envy in her eyes. She put down the fifty cents that was tightly clenched in her pocket. Although she was not good at talking, she saw that An An and Cheng Cheng were getting along and didn't mention the money, so she put the money out. She said seriously, "Chengcheng, your eyebrows are beautiful! But too thick!" After all, she said something unkind, and her little face was flushed.
An An couldn't help laughing, "Beautiful, very beautiful!" Seeing that Xu Chengcheng was like a furry cat, she stopped teasing and asked, "Did you bring the eyebrow pencil?"
Xu Chengcheng touched her schoolbag and took out an eyebrow pencil the length of a finger. It looked quite retro. An An raised her eyebrows. Eyebrow pencils were a luxury item these days. She took the eyebrow pencil seriously and said, "Don't move!" Xu Chengcheng immediately behaved. An An took out a handkerchief from her pocket and wiped off Chengcheng's original worm eyebrows.
After wiping it clean, she carefully opened Xu Chengcheng's face and carefully traced it with an eyebrow pencil. She was very serious and focused, which made Dongdong and Hu Xiaohua quiet down, and even Xu Chengcheng didn't dare to breathe.
Xu Chengcheng's eyebrows were not trimmed, and there were many stray hairs around her eyelids, but fortunately, her eyebrows were well-shaped, and the already thick eyebrows were squeezed in the middle, especially the brow peak at the end of the eyebrows, which made her look more heroic.
In fact, Xu Chengcheng is very suitable for heroic eyebrows, because her eyes are also upturned, with a bit of sternness. An An just lowered the brow peak a little, and the whole person's momentum changed immediately, gentle but not losing heroic spirit.
An An worked very quickly and finished two eyebrows in just two minutes. She put the eyebrow pencil aside and said proudly, "Go take a look?"
Xu Chengcheng couldn't wait to touch her schoolbag, but found that she didn't have a mirror. She suddenly had an idea. There was a water tank in the kitchen of this chaotic shop. She got up and ran. The water tank was full of water. She grabbed the edge of the water tank and took a lot of pictures. She
exclaimed, "It's so beautiful!"
But An An laughed. She found a girl who was more conceited than herself.
Perhaps because of the contact, Hu Xiaohua became a lot bolder. He pulled An An's hand and looked at it carefully. "An An, how come your hands are so long?" How come just two strokes can change your temperament!
Xu Chengcheng, who came over, agreed.
Without An An saying anything, Dong Dong explained proudly, "My sister is the best!"
An An was so happy with his proud look that she rubbed Dong Dong's little face and said, "My brother has good taste."
The brother and sister's compliments on each other made Xu Cheng Cheng envious, "Why isn't my brother so well-behaved!" Xu Cheng Cheng's brother is the lifeblood of the Xu family, but he is really a spoiled brat who only fights with Xu Cheng Cheng for food at home.
While they were talking, the boss brought up the wontons. The steaming wontons were topped with a layer of scallions and shrimps, and there were obviously a few drops of sesame oil, which was extremely fragrant.
Several people had great appetites. An An tasted a wonton and gave Xu Chengcheng a thumbs up, slurring her words, "It's delicious!"
Xu Chengcheng raised her chin proudly, "That's it!"
Hu Xiaohua replied, "I know there's a candy figurine shop not far away. The candy figurines are lifelike. Let's go there after we finish eating!" This was what she thought of after racking her brains. She didn't have many opportunities to go out for dinner. The reason she knew that candy figurine shop was because her idiot brother loved to eat candy figurines the most. Naturally, her parents had to find the best candy figurines in the county.
And the person who usually ran errands to buy candy figurines was Hu Xiaohua, she knew it very well.
Hearing about the sugar man, Dongdong's eyes lit up instantly, and her mouth was so sweet, "Sister Xiaohua, you are so nice!" When this child grows up, he will follow this trend to coax girls, and no one can escape.
These few short words made Hu Xiaohua blush instantly, and she couldn't say a word for a long time, but she was happy in her heart, someone praised her!
That feeling of being recognized and needed is really good.
Without waiting for An An to respond, Xu Chengcheng pinched Dongdong's little face, "I brought you to eat wontons, but I didn't hear you say I was good?"
Dongdong quickly begged for mercy, "Sister Chengcheng is also good, but my sister is still the best." Obviously, in the eyes of this child, no matter how many sisters there are, they can't surpass An An.
An An was so happy to hear this that she took a wonton from the bowl and fed it to Dong Dong herself!
In the end, Dong Dong got the advantage.
After they finished eating, it was already late to leave the wonton shop and it was dark, so they followed Hu Xiaohua to the candy shop. It was actually just a house in an alley. An
old man was sitting at the door smoking a pipe with tools beside him. When he saw Hu Xiaohua coming, he made one for her first.
An An saw that Dong Dong liked it, so she was particularly domineering and chose three candy figures at once. Even Xu Chengcheng couldn't help but give one to her little bear brother, because the candy figures were so beautiful, just like the real ones.
As for An An, she couldn't bear to bite them into pieces and eat them.
After all this hassle, it's already eight o'clock!
An An and Hu Xiaohua lived in the same place, while Xu Chengcheng lived in the government compound. They reluctantly said goodbye and went back.
When they arrived at the compound, they found that there were many people surrounding the tube building next door, and there were bursts of shocking crying. An An and Hu Xiaohua looked at each other, and she took Dong Dong and quickened her pace. They
walked in and slowly squeezed into the crowd. At a glance, they saw Jiang Jiang who was pushed to the ground. Jiang Jiang was stunned. The pair of clear eyes in the past were now empty and desperate, which made An An feel distressed.
Next to Jiang Jiang was a large family, and among them, an old lady with inverted triangle eyes was crying the loudest. She looked like she was sitting on the ground and crying. The elders were crying loudly, and the children below followed suit.
However, the older people behind Jiang Jiang were crying fakely.
After asking around, she found out that Jiang Jiang's mother and stepfather had fought so hard that the stepfather accidentally stabbed Jiang Jiang's mother, Li Zhaodi, in the stomach, and she died on the spot.
Jiang Jiang's stepfather fled, leaving the family behind. You know, the family all depended on Jiang Jiang's mother, Li Zhaodi, to support them!
Now the entire Li family lost its pillar, and the old lady was crying? ?
She shouted, "My poor daughter! How could you die at such a young age? How can an old woman like me live!"
An An's eyes were unmoved, she just focused all her attention on Jiang Jiang. Jiang Jiang seemed to notice that someone was looking at him. Following the source of the gaze, when he saw An An, his eyes suddenly brightened, and then dimmed again.
An An smiled at Jiang Jiang and shook the sugar man in his hand.
When she was about to squeeze out, she was stopped by Hu Xiaohua who was standing by. She pointed at the police who had just come from behind, and it was obviously not wise for An An to squeeze in.
After all, someone was killed. At this time, the union members and the police came and surrounded Jiang Jiang's home tightly. Then this group of people were taken away separately. They were all relatives of the victims, and it was not excessive to take them back for questioning.
If Li Zhaodi could open her eyes, she would find that the family she had protected all her life, including her own parents, were now far away from her, while her youngest son Jiang Jiang, whom she usually ignored, stayed by her side. When the police were about to take people away, Jiang Jiang did not forget to take a piece of clothing from home and covered Li Zhaodi with it, obviously to send her off for the last time.
An An nodded when she saw this. Jiang Jiang was a child who valued friendship.
Even the eyes of the people around him looked at Jiang Jiang differently. On the contrary, when Jiang Jiang's cousins saw Jiang Jiang touching the hands of a dead person, they all avoided him as if he were the plague.
It is said that a friend in need is a friend indeed. Although Li Zhaodi could not see it, everyone's eyes were sharp, especially that of Aunt Wu from the trade union. When she saw Jiang Jiang, her eyes softened a little. Older
people are more tender-hearted and they also prefer filial children. Obviously, Jiang Jiang's action has already won Aunt Wu's favor in the heart of Jiang Jiang, and it has also made things much easier in the future.
An An held Dong Dong's hand tightly, with some difficulty. She pinched Dong Dong's eyebrows tightly together. An An whispered, "How about we give one of the sugar men to Jiang Jiang?"
Dong Dong nodded.
